TP-Link TL-WR945N 450Mbps Wireless N Router – NBN Ready The gentle curves and metallic elegance of the TL-WR945N are crafted from aluminum alloy. This was achieved through a new feat of industrial design: a remarkably precise, nine-step anodization and polishing process.

Through a high-precision CNC machine accurate to 0.1mm, the TL-WR945N was born, The TL-WR945N wasn’t just made for looks. A steel exterior effectively dissipates heat in all directions and prevents outside signal interference. The end result is a modern design with all the forms and functions for a reliable Wi-Fi network.
